No not the wooden ones.
Apparently I'm one of the tiny percentage of people that Mosquitos find delicious. Conversely I seem to have a very bad reaction to their bites, I get blisters which look like burns. Only now with full horror do I realize the error of my ways. The correct criteria for choosing one's life partner has nothing to do with attraction, compatibility, respect or admiration. The correct thing to have done would have been to find someone who the Mosquitos find more tasty. :furious
Any other delicious people in the AH community?

:rofl :rofl lol nah if they bite me I bite them back

Me. Luckily I don't get blisters though. I can sit in a company of 5 outdoors and I'm the only one constantly getting bit.

I chase them round in the daytime and clap them out of the air. Their ACM sucks they only know how to flat scissor. Too late then though, they've already vulched me sixteen times.

Me. Find a friend that smokes, or sit next to a camp fire. They don't like the smoke.

I was always ignored by them until recently even out in countries where they were prevalent. But last year I woke up one morning to find my feet covered in bites and had the same bad reaction. My feet swelled up. Scratching made it worse. Last week I was targeted again only this time on the back of my arms. But a quick application of baking soda eased the irritation.
The thing is that I live in the west of Ireland and I've never been conscious of them before. I've never been bitten before either. Apparently among the many things that attract them is the smell of beer. Dammit there's another reason to give up drinking!

Apparently my ankles are delicious.
Right over the bone.
They must be delicious, as I get bitten regularly through socks on my ankles, but hardly ever on my unprotected hands.

As you age and your body changes, things you were never bothered by in your youth, which you were never aware of. Can suddenly become life threatening or at the least a gigantic bother.
Until last year after 57 years I was never bothered by water cress. About 2% of Caucasians have severe dermatological reactions to touching it. Eating it will swell up the throat. From the waist down I had a reaction like poison Ivy without the blisters. Fortunately I was part of the small percentage that 2000mg of vitamin C stopped all of the reactions in 15 minutes.
Wonder if you gents will have bad reactions to black fly's and all the relatives of the Horse and Deer fly. At least you don't have the Texas tick in the UK which can cause a severe allergy to red meat.

You seem to like talking about mosquitoes! It wasn't too long ago since you started another thread about them: http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,351444.0.html (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,351444.0.html)
As for you being deliciously irresistible to them, your previous thread also contained information about how food and hygiene products may either repel or tempt mosquitoes.
cpxxx, thanks for the baking soda trick! bustr, I supposee people don't actually react to black flies or horse flies since they don't inject any blood thinner like mosquitoes do. Instead they bite a bit off and especially the tiniest eschars seem to itch like hell! And the smallest black flies are not only inaudible, they're invisible for aging eyes like mine... Gotta stop for testing the baking soda!

Careful! there is nothing more dangerous than a wounded mosquito!

Crikey you're right! What a memory you have! Every winter I forget about them and then every summer when I get bitten I remember them again. Only happens a couple of nights every summer.
Tiny Shida doesn't seem to interest them. Perhaps I am being employed by others as a solution :old:
This time I found this interesting article:

My wife never gets bit when I am around. :eek:
Must be my tasty blood. :D I am not allergic though just the normal itchy. :(

I am one of those also. It could be 200 below zero covered from head to toe and a fricking mosquito will come and bite me. so I fight back. I do my part by eating as many bugs that can be eaten as I can :).

They always seem to pick me over almost anybody else. Garlic pills to no avail. Never found anything that works well other than covering head to toe.
To many's surprise, Phoenix/valley is loaded with them even with our low humidity :headscratch:
Odd thing though; in Alaska where they swarmed everything they left me alone.
I do have an electric tennis racquet looking device that fries them up rather effectively :devil nasty buggers.

These are awesome!

I found a great trick last night by accident. We were just drifting off to sleep and then I got disturbed and decided to check on Tiny Shida. When I came back Mrs Shida said she thought she heard one buzzing around. Quick flashlight search revealed the little bugger on the wall right above our bed tucking a napkin in it's collar and licking its lips. We merged three times, little shrecker kept diving to ack. But he burned up all his e and I got him locked in a rolling scissor right above my pillow and BANG, pilot kill!
Doesn't really help if there's a squadron of them but I infer they must be able to monitor your breathing to know when you are drifting off to sleep. Carbon dioxide maybe. Great way to draw them out.
Today I have aches in the joints near were I was bitten. Tiny little things are worse than finding a lion in your bathroom.

How about some flowers on the window shell, in the balcony, in the garden? In the buttonhole, behind her ear, crushed under your bedsheets or in your pockets? http://crabapplelandscapexperts.blogspot.fi/2013/05/10-top-mosquito-repelling-herbs-and.html (http://crabapplelandscapexperts.blogspot.fi/2013/05/10-top-mosquito-repelling-herbs-and.html) claims some of them being ten times more effective than DEET, and most of them are even edible, so they don't even pose a threat to Baby Shida! So you'd better leave Pennyroyal and Ageratum out of your shopping list...

That's a nice ida, thanks for the link. I'll probably have forgotten by next summer. Look out for my next Mosquito - no not the wooden one post and remind me again :old: :rofl

Why not get some at end of the season bargains now? There's plant lights for the winter if they'd need, and you'd be prepared right from the start. Just think about the appetizing scent of basil in the kitchen, or a whisper of lavender in your bedroom... Or having a glass of Lemon Balm Wine Cooler with Lady Shida made out of ingredients of your living door window shell plant? That might even serve as a number on a "harvest night" with some friends.

I live in Rice Country here in Arkansas which equals millions of acres of swamps and flooded fields. Our misquitos here could (have relations) with turkey's. You get used to em after a while. When I was a deputy we literally could not turn on our blue lights and get out of the car without being swarmed. They would get so bad I've accidentally inhaled them on more than one occasion. As I'm laying in bed typing this ones buzzing my screen.
Rice fields= misquitos
Rice fields= ducks
We'll worth it!!!!

Mosquito's track you by smell receptors in their antenna. Just cut down on foods that cause you to exude large amounts of ammonia, butylamine, or lactic acid.

2 things I swear by,citronella plants,we grow several of them in pot around our deck.
And vitamin B complex,as I understand it those antennas dislike the odour our bodies produce when taking B complex and it doesnt do any harm that I know of.
Pure deet is best but I wouldnt put any on little shida,well not before achieves black belt status!
